United States of Art: Arts Midwest

In September 2015, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) began a yearlong celebration of its 50th anniversary. As a regional arts organization, Arts Midwest not only receives significant funding from the NEA, but is also a primary partner in the management of its national initiatives, The Big Read and Shakespeare in American Communities. In order to honor this landmark anniversary, Arts Midwest produced a short video highlighting our work in the region, our partnership with the NEA, and what the arts means to us all.
